  With Coby, Luffy, and Zoro on a small boat in the opehe air was thick with the salt of adventure and the unspoken promises of the vast o ahead.

  Luffy, still bewildered by Coby's surprising dispy of the Gum-Gum Pistol teique, turo him with eyes wide as dies, as he remembered. "Right, Coby, how did you use my Gum Gum Pistol?" His voice was a mix of astonishment and curiosity.

  Coby, his heart still rag from the exhiration of battle, chuckled, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Well, the truth is, I am a Shinobi."

  At the mention of the word 'Shinobi,' both Luffy and Zoro's eyes literally shoh a childlike woheir mouths agape in amazement. "Shinobi?" they echoed in unison.

  Luffy, his imagination already running wild, leaned in closer. " you make es?" The excitement in his voice alpable.

  Zoro, not to be left behind, chimed in with his own curious inquiry. " you walk on water?"

  Luffy, his questions tumbling out faster than he could think, added, " you breathe fire? Or disappear in a puff of smoke? Or summon giant frogs?"

  Coby ughed out loud, his amusement eg over the waves. "Not yet, but iure, I ." His assurance was not just a whimsical promise but a hint at the untapped potential he felt surging within him, thanks to his new world's mysterious abilities.

  Luffy's eyes shone like a pair of suns, his face lit up with sheer amazement. Coby, feeling a surge of fidence, added with a grin, "My name is, Coby the Copy Ninja." He chuckled to himself, finding the moniker catchy and quite fitting for his newfound identity.

  Luffy's amazement alpable as he absorbed Coby's new identity of 'Coby the Copy Ninja,' but Zoro, ever the skeptic, raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with a hint of doubt. "So, all you do is... copying?" His question, though simple, carried a weight of skepticism.

  Coby, not oo back down from a challenge, looked at him with a pyful disdain. In a swift, fluid motion, remi of the Gum-Gum Pistol, he stretched his arm around the boat and nded a pun the back of Zoro's head. "Is this enough?" he snorted, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

  Zoro, caught off guard, rubbed the back of his head, more ahan hurt. "Was just asking. o punch me," he grumbled, his pride slightly bruised.

  Luffy, oher hand, burst into a fit of ughter, holding his sides as he rocked bad forth. "Brilliant!" he excimed between chortles, thhly eained by Coby's dispy of skill and humor.

  As the ughter died down, Coby leaned back, a satisfied smirk pying on his lips. The night air was cool against his skin, and the stars above shone brightly, refleg off the calm sea. He felt a sense of freedom aement, a stark trast to the life he had led before meeting Luffy, although it was short a few months, being a boy was hellish.

  The boat sailed on, the rhythmic sound of the waves pping against its sides providing a serene backdrop to their versation. Coby, feeling more at ease, began to share more about his abilities, careful not to reveal too much about his knowledge from Earth.

  "I've been training," Coby expined, his voice tinged with pride. "I've been , learning, and yes, copying skills from those around me. But it's not just about imitation. It's about adapting and making those skills my own."

  Luffy, still visibly excited, nodded enthusiastically. "So, what else you do? Any cool ninja tricks?"

  Coby grinned, sensing Luffy's geerest. "Well, I 't breathe fire or summs just yet, but I've learned a few things that might e in handy." He paused, sidering how much to reveal. "For instance, I've been w on my stealth and agility. And I've got a few tricks up my sleeve for whe into tight spots."

  Zoro, now recovered from his surprise, looked at Coby with a newfound respect. "That could be useful," he admitted, his tone grudgingly admiring. "Especially if we're going up against stronger oppos."

  The versation shifted to their future pns, with Luffy leading the charge with his dreams of finding the One Pied being the Pirate King. Coby listened, he khe world of One Piece like the back of his hand, and with his unique abilities, he could be a valuable asset to the crew.

  As they talked, Coby's thoughts wao his past life oh. He remembered the tless hours he spent watg One Piece, dreaming of adventures in a world far from reality. Now, here he was, living his dream.

  The night grew deeper, and the versation waned as the trio settled in for the night. Coby y back—as much as three men could on a small bot—looking up at the stars, feeling a deep sense of e to this world and its endless possibilities.

  "So, where are we headed?" Zoro asked, his voice tinged with a hint of weariness, a yawn esg him. His sense of dire was notoriously poor, a fact he’d never openly admit, and Luffy, well, navigating was ly his forte either.

  Coby, holding a pass, g it to firm their route. "an Isnds, e Town," he announced with an air of certainty. The pass needle steadily poihe way, a silent guide in the vast o.

  Zoro hummed, a thoughtful look crossing his face. "Why there?" He remembered whispers and rumors about a strong pirate residing in that area. His curiosity iqued, yet he didn’t press further, trusting in the journey.

  Coby, pying his cards close to his chest, replied with a casual shrug. "To restock," he said simply. His voice carried a tone of nonce, but his mind was abuzz with pns and possibilities. e Town was not just a random choice; it was a calcuted decision, a step towards a rger goal.

  Zoro, though curious, didn’t question further. He had no reason to suspect Coby’s iions. To Zoro, it was just aop on their uable journey. He leaned back, closing his eyes to rest, his budding trust in his panions unwavering.

  Coby, however, was thinking several steps ahead. His objective was clear – he o find Nami. Meeting her was crucial, not only for the sake of f a strong crew but also for his personal ambition. Coby, influenced by his past life as Kai and his knowledge of the One Piece world, harbored dreams beyond the ordinary. He envisioned creating a life filled with adventure and, quite frankly, a harem of beauties. This was his ce to live out a fantasy that had once been fio the realms of anime and manga.

  The night air was cool and refreshing, the sea calm and inviting. Coby took a deep breath, feeling the salt on his lips and the wind in his hair. He looked at Luffy and Zoro, both now dozing, their chests rising and falling in the peaceful rhythm of sleep. He felt excitement growing within him, as he admitted his dreams openly.

  Coby’s mind wao Nami. He knew her story, her struggles, arengths. In her, he saw not just a navigator but a spirited individual with dreams and ambitions. Her skills would be invaluable to their crew, and her presence, he believed, would be invaluable to him.

  He chuckled softly to himself, thinking about how his life had taken su ued turn. From a uy student oh to a burgeoning pirate in the world of One Piece with dreams of a harem with greatest wifu of One Piece World...
